Duane Eddy, with his trademark twangy guitar sound, enjoyed his ninth and final UK album success with Dance With The Guitar Man, sales boosted by the top five title track. Duane's RCA albums were regarded as more sanitized than earlier ones produced by Lee Hazlewood on the Jamie label. (US:47 UK:14)
"Love his unique and twangy guitar sound."
"An amazing guitarist and one of the truly important figures in rock and roll."
"Duane twangs a simple melody over some yakkety sax and much excited yelling in the background. As such, his worldwide influence on a generation of guitar-pickers was massive."
"Who can forget that tremolo-laden, booming guitar sound, the wailin' sax, the rebel yells and all-round great rock ensemble that Eddy and his stalwart support musicians put together."
"The material he cut for RCA from 1962 to 1965 was sanitized, commercialized and lightweight."
"A unique twanging guitar sound - wonderful."
